This recording explores three pivotal orchestral works by Estonian composer Eduard Tubin (1905–1982). His Symphony No. 4 “The Lyrical” (1943), composed just before his flight to Sweden, survived wartime bombings and conveys a striking contrast to his dramatic Third Symphony — offering instead a Nordic gentleness and glowing lyricism. The Symphony No. 9 “Sinfonia semplice” (1969), premiered in Stockholm, reflects Tubin’s later style: a more concise, transparent language, with movements flowing from elegiac calm to rhythmic vitality. Completing the program is the sparkling Toccata (1937), a vibrant and playful orchestral essay showcasing Tubin’s rhythmic drive and orchestral color. Together, these works highlight Tubin’s resilience and his remarkable contribution to 20th-century symphonic music.
